I personally think the DPI is to big on the stock version of G3, has anybody successfully decreased it to anything under 380dpi?

You need to root and use the app Texdroid. The stock DPI is around 650ish (can't remember exactly).

I've not took the step to root just yet. I used texdriod on my note 3 and its an excellent app. 650!!!!! Wow that is huge, i wonder why they went for that size?
Is it not due to the QHD display that the DPI is so big?

Not to sure, that's why i haven't installed texdriod just yet in case i boot loop my G3. Has anyone installed it yet and got it working?
Yeah, I've used texdroid to change it. I used Towelroot to root. Very easy. Everything works fine.

I'm using 530. Perfect for me. Followed setting from G2 where I went from 480 to 400 (17% decrease)

Strange issues for me...
After rooting the phone I used Root Explorer to change my DPI from 640 to 530 in the build.prop. This worked great for about 3 days with no issues at all. However, this morning I started getting a bunch of force closes all over the place from Google Hangouts, T-Mobile Visual Voicemail, Settings, and other LG apps.
I thought maybe something went wonky with other tweaks I had been doing with G3 Tweaksbox. However, after formatting the phone and starting from scratch, I went through the initial phone setup, then immediately installed Root Explorer and changed the DPI in the build prop to 530. I started getting the same app force closes right away. I formatted again, went through the same process and went to 540dpi this time. Same force closes again. 550dpi... same thing.
At this point I was stumped and wasn't sure what to do. So I started from scratch again and setup the phone as normal without touching the DPI. Once everything was setup to my liking I became determined to figure this out because 640dpi is just obnoxious. So I read through this thread and took others recommendations to use texdroider to change the DPI to 530. I was reluctant but decided to give it a try anyway. It worked! Everything is performing just fine. I'm not entirely sure how since textdroider is adjusting the dpi directly within the build.prop like I was in Root Explorer. But it must be working some magic because it's working.
It's been a couple of hours and all my apps are working with no force closes. Just figured I would give my feedback for others who may be experiencing the same thing and pulling their hair out. :highfive:
